In this lyric exploration of contemporary urban life at its most fragile and uncanny, Ryan Di Francesco presents the poet as narrator witnessing-and surviving-the quiet violence of everyday life.

These poems move through cities, encampments, late-night streets, industrial ruins, and intimate interiors, tracing the emotional and physical debris of living in a collapsing world.

Explorations of homelessness, addiction, insomnia, and environmental breakdown meet the tenderness of impossible places and the surreal hallucinations of modern fatigue.
